CAS-Elements of Style-Soften the Edges
Life gets a bit rough now and then and sometimes you need to soften the edges. Pals Paper Arts challenges you to do just that this week! Create a CAS card and round some corners – or adorn some corners…….whatever you need to do to take the edge off!
I decided to “soften my edges” by using the “Ticket Corner Punch” on my card. I was so busy thinking about my corners that I forgot all about the CAS part of the card. Once I was finished though, I thought OOPS! and I think I still qualify for a CAS card. I used my BigShot Machine and embossed my DSP with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Folder and then used my Sanding Blocks to “soften the edges” of my embossing:
Here is a close-up of the DSP that was sanded and I also sprayed my background with Smooch Spritz in Log Cabin:
